Going to be in the Ocala area... Crystal River or drive to Clearwater/Tampa?

You can rent tanks at Blue Grotto, Devils Den and Ginnie... There is a dive shop in Ocala (at least one) where you could also rent a tank... If you are planning on any of the state parks... rent two (there is no available air once your past Williston).

I just wish they didn't micro manage solo diving at the state parks... LOVED diving at John Pennecamp.... they didn't give a flip as long as you paid the entrance fee... of course they didn't have caves on site either...

Is that all you need to safely dive a cave now a days? Jesus...



If you end up going with rainbow river, call the rainbow river water taxi. If it's just you it may not be cheaper than going through a dive shop (who will likely use the same taxi), but I get a feeling they get you price wise for it.

Clearly you don't know how to read the English language. When you set apart two ideas in a sentence with a comma they are different thoughts. Of course you need more gear for the cave, I assume if you're diving caves you would know what to use and be certified. However, some people who may not know about Paradise Spring might think they would not need a light for 100 feet. That is why I mentioned the light only for the 100 foot sections. It was a separate statement from the 160 foot section....hence the comma.
